Christmas in Connecticut
A joyously nostalgic new holiday musical based on the beloved Warner Bros. picture.
Smart Housekeeping columnist Liz Lane, a famous expert on marriage, cooking and homemaking, is asked by her publisher to host a war hero for Christmas dinner at her renowned Connecticut farmhouse. The only problem? She can’t cook, she isn’t married and she lives in a tiny New York apartment. Based on the classic Warner Brothers film, this World Premiere musical comedy is a delightfully cheerful way to celebrate the holiday season!
The show premiered at the Goodspeed Opera House and was further developed at Utah’s Pioneer Theatre Company. Forthcoming license from Broadway Licensing Worldwide.
